Today is my cute hubby's birthday.....I cannot believe it is the
20th already!
"Emmie's Hope" is in full swing......we are doing our homework and evolving as we go...have met amazing people! We will focus on 7th and 8th grade girls....help get them ready for High School. Self-esteem and confidence! That is the key! Helping our future, our community, and building strong successful girls, what could be better! More to come.....

Sorry!

Sorry! I have been soooo busy, have not had time to blog! I have been working hard on my new project! We are almost official! I am starting a non-profit with my pal Margo. "Emmie's Hope" (named after Margo's 6 year old daughter).
EMMIE’S HOPE
CHANGING THE WORLD ONE GIRL AT A TIME
LEAVING A LEGACY

We are planning to start a non-profit focusing on young women the ages of 13-18.
Our Mission would be to build self-esteem, and encourage positive emotional, social, mental and spiritual development for young women. Focusing on their strengths and assets to help them build leadership qualities, resist peer pressure and decrease high risk behavior. Our measurable outcomes would be to have a higher rate of high school completion, and improve the rate of high school graduates into college admissions.
We are so fortunate to have the blessings of many influential people in our community......there is so much to tell you....I will keep you posted.......

IT'S 2010!

I don't think I ever thought I would say that....2010! How the heck did we get to 2010.....its down right depressing. I don't want it to be 2010. I want it to be 1995....a great year, Chels was 9 and Clay was 4. We were living in Tucson (in my favorite house ever) but moved to Grass Valley.....where we met awesome friends, found an awesome place to raise our awesome kids on an awesome 20 acres....did I say awesome.....life was good, love my kids that age, I would jump back to that time in my life right now if I could. (and a time when I only needed to lose 5 pounds).....but....here we are, 2010! 20 lbs...kids grown, country in economic mess......but I can still say life is good, married almost 30 years! good. Great kids! good. New son-in-law! good. Live in Colorado! good. Great friends here! good. It's these damn 20 lbs......I have got to get rid of them! 2010, this is the year! If I don't do it now, I will buy a moo moo and just start eating. Then I can get on "Biggest Loser" and become famous......Happy 2010!

Happy New Year!
